HISTORY
Meet the Founder:
After emigrating from Italy in 1960, founder Santino Caringi came to Canada with the hope
for a brighter future—and he did just that. Building Sun-Brite from the ground-up, he
instilled values of integrity, fairness and respect across all aspects of the business
that still hold true today. Sun-Brite’s reverence for these values has earned them a
reputation of excellence as a trusted consultant across various industries.
